Producentens noter (engelsk): Vintage characteristics: The Delaire Graff Sunrise Brut Cap Classique is named after the 118.08 carat Delaire Sunrise, the largest Fancy Vivid Yellow square emerald cut diamond in the world. The stone was cut and polished by Graff from a perfectly formed octahedral yellow diamond rough weighing 221.81 carats, which was unearthed at an alluvial mine in South Africa. Vineyards & harvest: The grapes from Delaire Graff Estate’s mountain vineyards were handpicked in the early morning. Vinification: A Crémant de Loire blend, Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay grapes were whole bunch pressed, producing approximately 450 litres of juice per ton, while the Cabernet Franc grapes produced approximately 150 litres per ton. The resulting yield was then fermented for two weeks and blended. A second fermentation took place seven months later, followed by ageing for 18 months on the lees before disgorgement, a process whereby the yeast deposits were removed.
